Help with Triggers
Jul 17, 2020
Hi there!
I am building a course and slide 1.2 is acting as my landing page and all other slides branch off of that one. The goal is that when each objective is clicked on the viewer would see anywhere between 3 to 8 slides depending on the topic.
Once the viewer sees each objective, I want the objective to be set to visited. By the end of visiting all 7 objectives, I would like to make visible a button that the user would click to begin their knowledge check.
My variables seem to be working, but the state of each objective seems to be changing immediately before needing to view all of the slides off that one branch which then throws off the trigger for the Begin Quiz Button I have at the end.
I've attached my project. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I don't have time to look at your file right now, but this discussion has a sample that does what you describe. https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/free-sample-restricted-and-free-random-navigation-using-variables-and-triggers
What you want is the free navigation.
One thing I can tell you is that you will likely have problems if you have a trigger to set the objective to Visited. Built-in states like Visited have their own magic to make them work, and if you create triggers to do the same thing, there will likely be ugly conflicts. It's best to create a state with a name like Completed to avoid those.
Thanks Walt. Unfortunately, when I went to the other thread and tried downloading your story file, google chrome flagged it as dangerous and won't proceed with the download. Is there another sample somewhere that I could look at?
Hi Brittany,
I'm seeing the same issue and our team is currently working on filing a report to Google.
UPDATE: You should be able to download as expected now. Please let me know if you run into any additional issues.
Hi Leslie,
I still am running into the same issue with google chrome, but was able to download the file through Internet Explorer. Thanks!
Update: I have been able to redo some triggers and the course is working as envisioned. Thank you everyone!!
